You may experience strange signs in your car but you are uncertain if it has connected with the presence of wrong fuel. A few customers have in the past reported the issue of wrong fuel only to realize later that it was a different problem. For you to be sure that your car is experiencing problems due to incorrect fuel, we have put together some of the usual signs for you. If the engine starts spluttering and begin running roughly, or if there is the production of too much smoke resulting in the low supply of power to the vehicle making it stop then there is a high chance that you have put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!



Now that you are aware of the indicators of wrong fuel in a vehicle, or have experienced it, then you will try to be more cautious in future and be certain of not making the mistake.

But there are ways in which you can avoid being in the same situation once again and they include not being in a hurry, concentrating when filling up, and avoiding being in a strange car which you are not used to traveling in.

Apart from wrong fuel in your car, water contamination can also cause your vehicle to run badly before coming to a halt, regardless of the kind of gas you utilize as a propellant. This means that if you experience any of the earlier mentioned signs, they could also be a result of either of the two.

AdBlue is a diesel system additive that makes the engine work cleaner. It is commonly administered incorrectly, as such, it is significant that it is done by someone who knows how to utilize it. Otherwise, it may end up causing problems to your car. The incorrect usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. The possibility of misusing AdBlue is quite high especially if done by someone with no knowledge in this.

Such a problem is also indicated by the car not moving smoothly hence reduced power and an eventual stoppage. Luckily, we are here for you. Our technicians are not just skilled on how to deal with this issue but also on how to deal with the problem of wrong fuel and water contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shadwell - Fuel Rescue Shadwell

This was an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 2am and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly uneventful up to now, and Ryan and I were relaxing looking at some old papers. This was an unusual quiet moment. Actually it was so peaceful that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist told me: "I've only just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my Shadwell". We instructed him to tell us where exactly he was located and we set off, getting to him 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were going back home we spotted two ladies on the side of the street who looked like they had a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
